Objective To analyze the survival rate and hospitalization information for 81 2 cases of very low birth weight (VLBW)and extremely low birth weight (ELBW)infants.Methods The retrospective study was con-ducted in a single center,Department of Neonatology,Hubei Women and Children Hospital,from January 2009 to De-cember 201 4,where the data of 81 2 infants with birth weight(BW)less than 1 500 g was analyzed in regard to perinatal condition,treatment and complications of these in relation to prognosis.Results (1 )A total of 621 cases(76.5%) had favorable prognosis.(2)There was a significant difference in the favorable prognosis rate between different BW groups (χ2 =28.87,P <0.05)and different gestational age(GA)groups (χ2 =1 4.77,P <0.05).The favorable prog-nosis rate for the male infants(χ2 =4.69,P <0.05),puerpera age between 1 7 -25 and 36 -46 years old (χ2 =1 1 .1 9, P <0.05),usage of prenatal hormones(χ2 =8.02,P <0.05),the infants without intrauterine infection (χ2 =8.61 ,P <0.05),the mother without gestational hypertension (χ2 =7.20,P <0.05)and gestational diabetes mellitus(χ2 =1 9.2, P <0.05)were different compared to the control groups.(3)Infants with peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) (χ2 =33.31 ,P <0.05)and recovery birth weight within 1 0 days(χ2 =29.65,P <0.05)had higher favorable prognosis rate compared to the control groups,which had significant differences.(4)Infants with intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH)(χ2 =1 3.1 6,P <0.05),respiratory distress syndrome (RDS)(χ2 =7.59,P <0.05),necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC)(χ2 =1 3.02,P <0.05)and serious asphyxia (χ2 =6.05,P <0.05)had lower favorable prognosis rates than those did not,with significant differences.(5)Logistic analysis:the lower BW,smaller GA,earlier birth,unused PICC, serious asphyxia,IVH,RDS were risk factors for poor prognosis(all P <0.05).Conclusions The favorable prognosis rate of VLBW and ELBW infants has improved gradually,and is closely related to GA,BW,maternal age,perinatal care,prevention complication,treatment of disease and social factors etc.

OBJECTIVE:To improve the rational and scientific drug purchase quantity planned by hospital pharmacy. METH-ODS:The deficiency in present drug purchase module of hospital information system(HIS)was analyzed;the formula of planned purchase quantity was improved by incremental coefficient method,ABC analysis method and VEN analysis method. The high and low stored values and packaging volume were set to adjust planned drug purchase quantity. Based on the computer program,a one-key-getting procedure was quasi established,and five typical drugs were selected for simulation. RESULTS:Based on previous formula,the parameters representing change trend,incremental coefficient k1 and inventory coefficient k2 were added in new formu-la. The one-key-getting procedure could calculate the quantity of all drugs by simply entering the planning cycle N1 and the safe peri-od N2 of the some category drugs into the system. After simulated operation practice,compared with pre-improvement,the occupa-tion of funds was significantly decreased and the quantity of drug was rounded off according to package in post-improvement. CON-CLUSIONS:Through function improvement of drug purchase module in HIS and the quasi establishment of one-key-getting pur-chase mode,planned drug purchase quantity is more reasonable,scientific and accurate. It ensures the clinical drug supply in time without causing a backlog,and effectively reduces the cost of manpower,material and capital.

Objective: To compare and analyze the maxillary lingual arch forms of ClassⅠmalocclusions after extraction and non-extraction treatment respectively. Methods: 60(30 with extraction, 30 non-extraction)maxillary dental models of ClassⅠmalocclusions after orthodontic treatment were measured in lingual arch widths and depths. The data were analyzed by statistical methods and the charts of lingual arch forms were drawn. Results: The lingual arch widths and depths in anterior segments of the extraction group were significantly larger than those of the non-extraction group(P0.05). The lingual arch forms of the two groups were similar in anterior segments, and more different in premolar and first molar segments, but similar from the distal lingual cusp of the first molars. Conclusion: The lingual arch forms of the two groups are similar in appearances, but the anterior segments of the extraction group are deeper than that of the non-extraction group.

BACKGROUND: Bacterial cellulose, a new nanometer biomaterial, benefits the growth of skin tissue and limits the infection. It may provide advantageous conditions for the biomaterials dressing and temporary skin in the burnt patients and chronic ulcer patients. OBJECTIVE: To study the possibility of bacterial cellulose in the treatment of deep second-degree burn in rats. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: An observational experiment was perforemd at the Central Laboratory of Sixth People's Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University from June to November 2008. MATERIALS: M12 was used to produce non-soluble gel membrane when it was cultured for 6 days at a constant temperature of 30℃, and then the sample was boiled for 20 minutes in 0.1 mol/L NaOH solution. Ivory semitransparent bacterial cellulose was obtained following the removals of thallus in liquid membrane and residual culture medium. METHODS: Skin burn in a size of 2.0 cm×2.0 cm was made in bilateral sides of spinal cord on back with self-made wound meter. One side was treated with bacterial cellulose dressing and sutured, taking as experimental side. While the other side served as control side without dressing. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: At days 4, 7, 14, 21 and 28 after operation, the healing rate of skin burn in rats was calculated, and the skin wound and healing were observed under light microscope. RESULTS: All animals were alive normally without the presence of wound infection. Compared with control side, the wound healing rate of treated side significantly improved at day 21 after operation; there was no significant difference between the treated side and control side at other time points (P < 0.01). The histological results indicated that the pathological lesion and healing had no significant differences between the two sides. CONCLUSION: Bacterial cellulose can promote the healing of skin burn wound to a certain degree.

Objective To observe the influence of sodium phosphocreatine on the hemodynamics,human heart fatty acid binding protein (hFABP),cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnI) during perioperative period.Methods Forty patients (ASA grade Ⅱ to Ⅲ ) with extensive myocardial ischemia diagnosed by preoperative electrocardiogram were divided into two groups:sodium phosphocreatine group (group A) and control group (group B) with 20 cases each by random digits table. Both groups underwent routine preoperative preparation and group A were given sodium phosphocreatine 2 g/d till anesthesia induction immediately in the operation day. Hemodynamic parameters including mean artery pressure (MAP),heart rate (HR),cardiac output (CO), stroke index (SI) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) were recorded respectively at 3 d before treatment (T0), anesthesia induction immediately before ( T1 ), tracheal intubation immediately after (T2),tracheal extubation immediately after (T3). And blood hFABP and cTnl levels were detected. Results Compared with group B, there was no significant difference in HR of group A at To to T3 (P ＞ 0.05 ). MAP,CO, SI at T1 to T3 of group A were significantly higher than those of group B(P＜ 0.05 ) ;whereas PVR,blood hFABP and cTnI levels were lower than those of group B (P ＜ 0.05 ). The incidence of arrhythmogenesis of group A [20%(4/20)] was lower than that of group B [45%(9/20)](P＜0.05). Conclusion Sodium phosphocreatine has good protective effect on the myocardium in the patients with myocardial ischemia during perioperative period.

Objective To investigate the difference of the morbidity rate of hypertension among patients with sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) in different stages, and the change in the blood levels of some vasoactive substances and their correlations with severity of SAS, in order to further explore the mechanism of hypertension caused by SAS. Methods 63 patients suspected to suffer from SAS were enrolled, and they were divided into normal, mild, moderate, and severe SAS groups according to respiratory disorder index (RDI) obtained by polysomnography (PSG) monitoring. The diagnosis of hypertension was made by the measurement of blood pressure and 24-hour dynamic measurement of blood pressure. Blood levels of angiotesnin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ), endothelin-1 (ET-1), throboxane B2 (TXB2), calcium gene related protein (CGRP), 6-keto-protagladin factor1?(6-keto-PGF1?) were determined with radioimmunoassay. Results The mobidity rate of hypertension was significantly higher in moderate and severe SAS group than that in the normal group (P0.05). Correlative analysis showed that the blood levels of Ang Ⅱ, ET-1, TXB2 were positively correlative to RDI (r=0.594, 0.523, 0.574, respectively, P0.05). Conclusion SAS is significantly related to the incidence of hypertension. Vasoactive substances with vasoconstrictive effect such as Ang Ⅱ, ET-1, TXB2 play an important role in the pathogenesis and development of hypertension in SAS patients than those with vasodilative effect such as CGRP and 6-keto-PGF1?.

Objective To investigate the incidence of the pusher syndrome in stroke patients, and the relationship between the syndrome and the neuropsychological symptoms and location of brain lesion, and to investigate the mechanism and the physiotherapy intervention of pusher syndrome. Methods Thirty nine patients(25 male, 14 female, 62.5?9.4 years old) with pusher syndrome were examined, 91 patients(57 male,34 female, 58.4?11.6 years old) without ipsilateral pushing served as control. The lesion areas, neuropsychological syndrome and the Barthel Index(BI) were recorded, and the physiotherapy were administered in the patients. Results The incidence of pusher syndrome was 30% in the patients studied, corresponding to 17% of the total number of stroke patients in the study period. The percentage of pusher syndrome occurrence was higher in the patients with right side lesion than those with left side lesion ( P

Objective To evaluate the sensitivity of arterial ketone body ratio as an indicator for multiple organ failure.Materials and methods The experimental model of multiple organ failure was made in adult and old rats by hypoperfusion-induced hemorrhagic shock. After blood sampling, the arterial acetoacetate, β-hydroxybutyrate, total ketone body, ALT, AST, BUN, creatinine at 2, 4, 8 hr in hypoperfusion were examined to compare the differences of ketone body ratio and organ failure between adult and old rats. Hepatic and mitochondrial metabolism were assessed by comparing ketone body ratios (AcAc/β-OHB) and free NAD+/NADH ratios. Results Ketone body ratio in old rats at 2, 4, 8 hr after the induction of hemorrhagic shock decreased from 0.68 to 0.31, 0.27 and 0.22, respectively. In adult rats, it decreased from 1.12 to 0.17, 0.12 and 0.09, respectively. Changes of ketone body ratio in the adult group were larger than in the elderly group ( P ＜ 0.001). The development of multiple organ failure is associated with the time of hemorrhagic shock development. Conclusions There was a different ketone body ratio between multiple organ failure in the elderly (MOFE) and multiple organ failure (MOF) in general adults. Ketone body ratio is a better indicator than ALT and AST in reflecting hepatic function in the early status of MOF. (J Geriatr Cardiol 2004;1(2) :125-128. )

Objective To identify risk factors associated with repeat use of pulmonary surfactant ( PS) in the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome ( RDS ) in the term and near-term neonate. Methods There were 130term and near-term new borns with RDS who were treated with pulmonary surfactant were enrolled. These infants were categorized into two groups: single-dose group (85 cases) and repeat-dose group (45 cases). The differences in basic information were compared between the two groups, and logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for repeat use of pulmonary surfactant.Results TherepeatutilizationrateofPSwas34.6℅.The incidence of asphyxia,maternal gestational hypertension, X-ray RDS grade 3-4, the age of first dose PS,respiratory support time in the repeat-dose group was significantly higher than in the single-dose group (P<0. 05). PaO2/FiO2 and the cure rate in the repeat-dose group were significantly lower than in single-dose group ( P<0. 05 ) . The incidence of sepsis, pulmonary hemorrhage, shock and patent ductus arteriosus ( PDA) in the repeat-dose group was significantly higher than in the single-dose group ( P<0. 05). Further logistic regression analysis showed that birth asphyxia ( OR=5. 674 , 95℅CI 1. 378 -23. 354 , the age of first dose of PS (OR=1.092, 95℅CI 1.002 -1.191)and PDA(OR =23.499, 95℅CI 2.348 -235.152)were the independent risk factors for repeat use of pulmonary surfactant.Conclusions Birth asphyxia,the age of first dose PS and PDA are the risk factors for repeat use of pulmonary surfactant in the treatment of RDS in the term and near -term neonate.
